Was on the market for a new camera and found out that Kodak was not going to make them anymore, so I looked at this camera and a canon, was happy that this one was over a $100 cheaper and had better zoom and many options. I have used it in several lightings and very happy with the results. Can't wait to use it at my kids Spring concert. Will update again then. Great product.

Sold my Nikon P500 on Ebay. It was a great camera but the 36X zoom was impossible to control without a tripod. I photograph birds in central Pennsylvania and needed a camera that was capable of taking quick shots while on the move. I had a Panasonic Lumix with an 18X zoom but wanted something a little stronger. The Fuji S4200 meets all of my requirements. I love the simplicity of the contols as well as their locations. Finally got the perfect shot of a tufted titmouse that was nearly fifty yards away. The only things I can gripe about are the location of the card slot which is inside the battery compartment and the strap holding lugs which are too small for a heavy padded camera strap. Did I mention the price which was low enough to counter the problems?

I recently made a big change from a Fuji Finepix S9000 to this new model Finepix S4200.
I like it show far. It's a bit easier to handle for me since I am disabled.This camera is
much smaller than my old one. Only con I find is the blink setting. Even without people
in the picture it says someone blinked. I just disabled it.My eyes disappear when I smile anyway.
I am just getting to use it. Taking pictures daily to learn the new settings.
This camera is very versatile does a lot of good things. Pictures look good so far
I compare to my old camera pictures since there is a good difference of pixels.
I would recommend it to people.
